Chapter 961:

? ? ? ? ?

Suddenly, a loud “Bang!” The crash echoed as a tray hurtled across the room.

“Ah!” Katie paused briefly, before clutching her head and letting out a high-pitched scream. Blood cascaded down the right side of her face like a torrent, relentless and endless.

I hadn't seen Mitchel get the layup or how he managed to hit her with it. Weren't your hands tied? How was it possible?

Terror filled Katie's eyes as she saw Mitchel get up and approach her. When had he broken free of his bonds? It was not the time to dwell on those questions. Mitchel was more threatening than any of Maxwell's men, as if he would tear her to pieces on the spot.

“Help me!” Katie screamed desperately at Maxwell's men, but the guard who had been watching them had momentarily left.

Another had urgently excused himself to go to the bathroom after making sure they were both tied up. Therefore, no matter how loud she screamed, there was no one to hear her.

"Relief! Help me…” Before he could finish his plea, an excruciating pain coursed through his body.

Mitchel stepped on her uninjured hand and twisted it with brutal force.

"Oh!" Tears ran down Katie's cheeks as she screamed, "Mitchel... Mitchel... You dare, you dare... Wait until Lorenzo finds out about this, he'll skin you alive..."

The pain almost drove Katie mad. He understood that if Mitchel escaped, Lorenzo would undoubtedly pursue him.

“Give me your medicine,” Mitchel demanded coldly, using a broken table leg as a makeshift crutch.

“What… what medicine?” Katie stuttered, bewildered.

"What do you think?" Mitchel's face was drawn, a portrait of impatience.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Katie feigned ignorance with a shake of her head. «I was lying. "There is no medicine."

Mitchel's lips barely moved as he shifted his weight onto his toes, pressing harder.

«Ah! "Ah!" Katie's scream of agony reverberated throughout the room.

“Now, do you have it?” Mitchel demanded, his voice high-pitched.

Wincing in pain, Katie reluctantly picked up a small glass vial and threw it on the floor.

Inside, two blue pills were sealed with wax, unmistakably marked by the Aurora witch. This unique seal, derived from a specific herb, was indestructible and inimitable.

Katie collapsed, her face pale with intense pain. «Are you really going to take it? Do you understand what this medicine will do to you?” he gasped.

“I know,” Mitchel replied quietly, his cold demeanor momentarily softening.

"Even if I become a walking corpse, a waste, a paralytic, or something less than human, just to have another moment with Raegan, I'm willing to endure it."

Knowing that Raegan was carrying her children again and had decided to stay had radically changed Mitchel's priorities. For the first time, his will to live flared fiercely. He longed to be present when she gave birth.

His absence when Janey came into the world was a remorse that gnawed at him relentlessly. This time, he was determined to persevere until the arrival of the children, to witness the first breath of his children...

Mitchel put the glass vial in his pocket just as noises were heard at the door.

“Help…” Katie's attempt to scream was cut short when Mitchel shoved a gag into her mouth. “Mmmph…”

The guard who had left for the bathroom came back in, immediately surprised by the chaotic scene. "Where's the man?" he barked, taking in Katie's bloodied appearance.
